What is the most difficult thing about quitting? (RP)

 I've been used to listening to the junky for way too long. The junky feeds off of fear. Whether it's success or failure, it's main focus is to get you to do that one thing you don't want to do...and that's take a puff. Today I remain smoke free and here is a great reminder from gummer of the truth behind how this addiction works on our minds.

What is the most difficult thing about quitting ?
Repost from Gummer

... you THINKING that you cannot do it
... you THINKING that life will never be the same again
... you THINKING that you will never feel like yourself again
... you THINKING that you will always miss smoking
... you THINKING that you will never fully enjoy life again
... you THINKING that you will not be able to cope
... you THINKING that you won't be able to focus

The hardest part about quitting is not even real, it is what you FEAR, rather than what IS. It is a byproduct of the addiction that threatens you with all out panic at the thought of never smoking again. When you feel this way, recognize it, and remind yourself that it is just the addiction at work, and that there is nothing negative about quitting - not a single solitary thing. Addiction is what is causing all the misery and fear. What's more, as you move along your quit and the fog of addiction starts to lift, you will see that your fears were not only unfounded but that you actually prefer a smoke-free life than being chained to cigarettes merely to feel normal.

Don't make quitting difficult on yourself. Change the way you think about cigarettes and it will change the way you quit. Cigarettes do not make you feel good... they addict you and make you feel miserable.
